The IC component 74VHC374MTCX is a versatile integrated circuit that belongs to the 74VHC logic family. It is a 8-bit D-type flip-flop with 3-state outputs, which can be used for various digital applications. Here is an overview and key features of the 74VHC374MTCX:
1. 8-bit D-type Flip-Flop: The main functionality of this IC is to store and control the state of 8 individual digital data inputs using D-type flip-flops. It can latch the input data and hold it until the next clock cycle. Each flip-flop can be independently controlled without influencing other flip-flops.
2. 3-State Outputs: The IC has 3-state outputs, allowing it to turn off the output drivers and put them into a high-impedance state. This feature enables the IC to drive multiple components in a bus architecture and avoid conflicts when multiple devices are trying to drive the bus simultaneously.
3. Wide Operating Voltage Range: The 74VHC374MTCX is designed to operate within a wide range of supply voltages, typically between 2V and 5.5V. This compatibility with various voltage levels makes it compatible with different electronic systems and simplifies integration into existing designs.
4. High-Speed Operation: The IC is engineered to provide high-speed operation, with propagation delay times as low as 3.8ns
